Things aren't looking too good right now for US President Donald Trump as pressure continues to pile on him amid the ongoing Epstein scandal, and he has seemingly taken out his fury on a female reporter with a shocking three-word response.
While it might have been a campaign promise pushed by Donald Trump and JD Vance before the election last year, the release of the Epstein files has been deliberately denied and stalled by House Republicans, with the president leading the charge to prevent the release of information.
Trump himself was once an associate of both convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, and many have speculated that the president will be present in the infamous files when they release, including his once-close friend Elon Musk, who vowed that the 'truth will come out' earlier this year.
The president certainly wouldn't be the only notable or famous name present in these files if and when they are released, if he is present at all, but newly uncovered emails appear have placed increased pressure on the current administration to open the flood gates.

These emails, shared between Epstein, Maxwell, and author Michael Woolf, allege that Trump 'spent hours' at the former's house with one of the victims of child sex trafficking, that he 'knew about the girls' and tried to stop Ghislaine, and that he was 'the dog that never barked'.
This has only further piled on the pressure for the House Oversight Committee to release the entirety of the Epstein files, and Trump was recently questioned about his thoughts on the what was claimed in the emails.
One female reporter from Bloomberg asked the president if there were any 'incriminating' details or information present in the emails that were recently revealed, to which Trump issued an aggravated and derogatory response:
"Quiet. Quiet, piggy," Trump declared, while pointing at the reporter's face.
Many have been left stunned, but not particularly shocked, at this outburst from the commander in chief, but what's clear is that the question – and the release of the emails – is getting to him.
"I had a physical reaction when I read this headline, my neck snapped back so fast," wrote one comment on Reddit in response to Trump's remark. "It really, really upsets me that this piece of s*** is in charge."
Another added that "out of all the evil things he has done on camera, for some reason his face after he said piggy was the most sinister he has ever looked."
